Gu Huaijiang glanced at him.
"come over."
The tone was softer than usual.
Gu Yi was flattered and couldn't believe that his father, who had always been majestic, would treat him so kindly.
He was about to step forward when he suddenly saw Yufu pounding his little hand, rushing towards Gu Huaijiang.
It was not called him.
"The bud head that was finally combed is dirty now."
Gu Huaijiang lowered his head to find the meringue powder on Yufu's head, and took it down for her with his hands, and was careful not to damage her bun.
She was young, she couldn't comb her hair well, and there were rough men in the army, and no one could comb her hair.
This bun was when they were staying in the suburbs of Beijing, and a passing village woman saw her cute and cute head protruding from the carriage, and couldn't help combing her crooked bun.
Yufu lowered her head, naturally letting Gu Huaijiang break the ground on her head, but Gu Xiang and Gu Yi on the side looked dumbfounded.
When did they... have seen Gu Huaijiang be so kind to a child? !
Even Gu Shubai, an elder brother who is excellent at both academics and martial arts, has never received such treatment!
Not only were they shocked, even Qi An, who had been serving in the Hou Mansion for a lifetime, was also rare to see Gu Huaijiang so gentle.
His old eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at the little Yufu.
Is it really as you guessed that this little girl is the illegitimate daughter of Master Hou outside
"Master Hou, since the wife went there, there is not even a maid in our house, only a few old ladies in the back kitchen. There is no one to take care of Miss Yufu, so why don't you let Qi Ting, the granddaughter of the old slave, take care of it?"
Qi Ting is fifteen years old and is the only granddaughter of Qi An.
Her father Qi Zhou also held important positions in the mansion, so he was raised as a half-girl when he was young, and rarely did rough work.
Gu Huaijiang thought for a while, then nodded.
"It's okay, otherwise there is no woman to take care of Yufu, and I really don't worry."
Qi Ting is at the right age and is Qi An's granddaughter. Gu Huaijiang can rest assured that she will take care of Yufu.
Qi An nodded as it should be, but a storm surged in his heart.
He suggested that Qi Ting should take care of Yufu. He was also a little tentative. He wanted to know how much Gu Huaijiang valued Yufu.
Unexpectedly, Gu Huaijiang actually agreed. It seems that he really values Yufu.
That guess is true...
"Earlier, I ordered people to send a message back to tidy up a clean courtyard, but are all tidy up?"
When Gu Huaijiang asked, Qi An was about to answer, not wanting Gu Xiang to speak first.
"Because I don't know what my father is going to do, my second brother ordered people to clean up all the courtyards in the house. Is my father going to support Yu?"
Gu Yi became anxious when he heard this, "Father, let Yufu live with us! The elder brothers all like to live in a courtyard each, but we like the excitement, let Yufu live with us!"
Gu Xiang and Gu Yi only played with Yufu for a long time, and they already liked this sister very much in their hearts.
Even if they were not born to the same mother, they made up their minds to take care of Yufu.
So when Gu Huaijiang mentioned the courtyard, Gu Yi quickly asked to let them stay with Yu.
Gu Huaijiang's face almost turned green when he heard this.
Behind him, Qi An couldn't laugh or cry. Xindao's sixth son was only sixteen years old, and he still didn't understand the defense between men and women.
"Naughty! Yufu is a girl's family, how can I live with you?! You were so rude and I haven't punished you, so I went to the ancestral hall to get ten army sticks!"
Speaking and flicking his sleeves, he walked out holding Yufu's little hand.
Yes, Gu Yi could have escaped a catastrophe, and this sentence added ten army sticks to his life.
"Gu Xiang, why did you say that my father beat me?"
Although he was accustomed to being beaten since he was a child, and didn't care about this trivial ten army club, he still wanted to understand the reason.
Gu Xiang was only born half an hour earlier than him, but he vaguely understood something.
"Because Yu helped her... she is a girl."
Gu Yi turned his head to look at him curiously, as if he didn't understand the concept of a girl.
As far as they can remember, there has been no maid in the Hou Mansion, and they are really unfamiliar with the concept of girls.
The concept of sister is even more unfamiliar...
"Master Hou, these courtyards are all cleaned up. Where do you want Miss Yufu to live?"
Gu Huaijiang was holding Yufu's little hand, and he dared not walk too fast, for fear that he might be holding her hand too hard.
Hearing Qi An's question, he stopped and thought for a while, then squatted down and asked Yufu.
"There are many yards in our house, where do you want to live?"
Qi An was stunned.
The eldest son was crowned at the age of twenty this year and changed a new yard. Gu Huaijiang didn't say let him choose by himself!
Unexpectedly, he would be so tolerant to Yufu.
Yu Fu didn't pay attention to Qi An's surprise. In her eyes, Gu Huaijiang had always been a very kind elder, not a majestic general.
"General, I want to live closer to you! I don't know anyone here. If I stay closer to you, I can still find you if something goes wrong."
Because of getting acquainted in the army, Yufu followed Lao Jin and the others to call General Gu Huaijiang, which has become a habit.
Gu Huaijiang usually listened to rough guys shouting like this, only a little girl in Yufu shouted the word general softly and sweetly, which was unexpectedly nice.
He nodded, feeling that Yufu's consideration was reasonable.
"Which empty yard in the mansion is closest to the upper room?"
Gu Huaijiang stood up and asked Qi An behind him. After all, the Hou Mansion was too big, and he himself couldn't remember which yards he had.
Qi An was familiar with everything in the mansion, and quickly said: "Qingfangyuan is the nearest, and there are two or three yards along the lake, not far from Hou Ye's upper room."
Gu Huaijiang shook his head in denial.
"Qingfangyuan is too small, and the area by the lake is too far away."
"That..." Qi An thought for a while, and tentatively said: "Then only the West Wing is left."
The West Wing is actually a courtyard, the place is closest to the upper room, only separated by a veranda with hanging flowers.
The reason for the name is that Gu Huaijiang wanted to have a daughter in particular, and said that in ancient times, her daughters used to live in the West Wing of the house. Bent specially set up a nearby courtyard, ordered people to be groomed, and personally nominated it as the West Chamber.
Later, Mrs. Hou gave birth to Gu Xiang and Gu Yi and died of dystocia. The courtyard was sealed, and no one in the residence dared to mention it again.
If it hadn't been for Gu Huaijiang to order someone to clean the courtyard this time, no one would have opened the courtyard gate of the West Chamber again.
Gu Huaijiang was hesitant on his face.
Yufu couldn't wait any longer, and tugged at the hem of his clothes.
"General, what's wrong?"
Only then did Gu Huaijiang come back to his senses.
"Nothing, I'll take you to the West Wing."
